[syslinux] Pxelinux - gpxe problem.

[Santosh Raghuram]

Hi Peter,

 Thanks a lot. I will inform them about the version of etherboot, too.

 I have tried versions 3.20 and version 3.31, also. They fail much
 earlier than version 3.00. They do not print a single debug message.
 Hence I thought that this could be easier for you as you know what the
 error codes mean.

Thanks again,
Regards,
Santosh.
